A guide to the expansion of consciousness possible during the Galactic Alignment of 2012 Reveals the new era that will be ushered in as the current perception of time collapses and spiritual perception expands Explains the psycho-spiritual preparations necessary to transition into this new era Shows how the alignment of the sun with the Galactic Center will allow humans to experience awareness normally reserved for shamans, pharaohs, and sages This is an extraordinary time in the planets history. In 2012, for the first time in almost 26,000 years, our sun will be most closely aligned to the Galactic Center. This Galactic Alignment, which began with the Harmonic Convergence in 1987 and will conclude in 2023, presents a thirty-six-year window of opportunity for humanity to participate in the creation of a new era of expanded consciousness. Christine Page explains that, as the source of all creation, our galaxy is the Great Mother and its center, her heart. Auspiciously aligning Earth with the heart of the Great Mother, the Galactic Alignment heralds a rebirth of the divine feminine qualities of the Triple Goddess--intuition, emotional creativity, and renewal. Drawing on alchemy and mythology, Page details how to connect with and use the sacred spiritual tools unlocked during the alignment to merge with the Great Mother, a spiritual transformation that allows us to expand our awareness and experience ourselves as eternal beings.

Many witches do not belong to covens but follow a different solo branch of our magical heritage; the path of the storybook wizard, the wise woman, the hermit, the folk healer, the druid, or the shaman. Working alone, they connect deeply with nature, talk to the trees, follow the patterns of the sun and the moon, and feel the changing energies of the year`s turning cycle. Anyone can learn something of their magical powers. The ancient arts and spells are there to be rediscovered, given patience, common sense, and a longing to know. You can heal yourself, gain peace from stress, and find ways of coping with the turmoils of modern life. You can also do good for others, learn to heal with herbs, see into the future, and recover the treasures of wisdom from the past. This is a 208 page softcover book.
Before Rome ruled the Classical World, gleaming stone pyramids stood amid smoking iron foundries from North America`s Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi River. On its east bank, across from today`s St. Louis, Missouri, flourished a walled city more populous than London was one thousand years ago, with a pyramid larger, at its base, than Egypt`s Great Pyramid. During the 12th century, hydraulic engineers laid out a massive irrigation network spanning the American Southwest that, if laid end to end, would stretch from Phoenix, Arizona, to the Canadian border. On a scale to match, they built a five-mile-wide dam from ten million cubic yards of rock. While Europe stumbled through the Dark Ages, a metropolis of weirdly shaped, multistory structures, precisely aligned to the sun and the moon, sprawled across the New Mexico Desert. Who was responsible for such colossal achievements? Where did these mysterious builders come from, and what became of them? These are some of the questions investigated by Frank Joseph in his examination of ancient influences at work on our continent. He reveals that modern civilization is not the first to arise in North America but was preceded instead by four high cultures that rose and fell over the past three thousand years: the Adena, Hopewell, Mississippian, and Anasazi-Hohokam. How they achieved greatness and why the vanished so completely are the intriguing enigmas explored by this unconventional prehistory of our country, Advanced Civilizations of Prehsitoric America.
